R7000 capped at 100Mbps
I should be getting 400/40 from my ISP but am only getting 100/10. If I hardwire directly into my cable modem (Netgear CM500) I can get the 400/40. As soon as I go through the router (using the same ...
Possible the qos set up of the router is what the problem is.
So this is interesting. I had QoS turned on. I turned it completely off and it didn't change my speeds. However, within the QoS settings in Netgear Genie, there is a built in Ookla speedtest. Running that speedtest gets me 400/40. Yet when I run any other speedtest in my browser I get 100/10. I then saw under QoS there is a place to change Uplink Bandwidth. I increased it to 40Mbps, and now speedtests are around 30ish, which is close enough to my ISP settings under Wifi. So that makes me think there might be the same limitation somewhere for downloads, but I don't see that setting anywhere. Any ideas?
Do you have the traffic meter turned on? Turning it off has also solved speed problems for some people.
Then there is the cable between modem and router.
